The chapter as it stands, read forward into the canon it would help write. Beside each verse, the New Testament places that quote, allude to, or echo it — follow any to read it in its own argument. The verse number opens its full reception dossier.
2
He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
3
He who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4
In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
5
he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
